Logging a manual
revenue entry.

When you only know the daily total — no per-product breakdown. The two-field shortcut.

Two fields, ten seconds. Cash and card. Save. Done. The fastest entry path in nouz.

Manual entries are the simplest revenue path nouz offers — two numbers and a save. They're the right choice when you're still setting up, when service revenue doesn't fit per-unit products, or when you only have the day's total without a per-item breakdown.

01 When to use it

Manual entries are the right tool when:

  • It's your first week and you haven't set up products yet.
  • You sell services where individual treatments don't have stable per-unit COGS.
  • A specific day was chaotic and you only have totals, not a breakdown.
  • You took a one-off €40 cash payment that doesn't fit any SKU in your catalogue.

02 How to enter one

  1. 1
    Open Revenue

    Today is selected by default. Click another date in the calendar to backdate.

  2. 2
    Click + Manual entry

    Opens the cash/card form.

  3. 3
    Type cash (BAR)

    Gross total — VAT included.

  4. 4
    Type card (EC)

    Gross total — VAT included.

  5. 5
    Optional note

    "Morning shift", "Saturday market" — anything that helps future you remember.

  6. 6
    Save

    Green toast confirms. The entry appears in today's list.

03 Editing later

Click the entry row to open it. The same form opens with your values pre-filled. Edit, save — done. The P&L recomputes immediately, and any Statistics insights that reference that day re-evaluate on next page load.

04 What manual entries can't do

Two things you give up by using manual entries instead of product sales:

  • Per-product margin tracking. Manual entries don't reference a product, so they don't feed into the product performance ranking in Statistics. The day's revenue is captured, but you can't later ask "which item carried this day?".
  • Automatic COGS computation. Manual entries don't carry a COGS — you'd need to log COGS separately as a daily Expense if you want it accounted for.
Don't mix bookkeeping styles. Pick a pattern (full manual, full product sale, or hybrid) and stick to it within a given day. Switching mid-day creates the double-counting risk.
